About this book

Molta letteratura moderna e contemporanea, sia d'autore sia di genere, ha descritto o immaginato contagi capaci di stravolgere il preesistente ordine sociale o di rivelarne, in forma traumatica, le effettive logiche politico-culturali. Epidemic sonda alcuni testi in quest'ottica significativi e dunque esplora, con particolare attenzione, opere di Daniel Defoe, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Alessandro Manzoni, M.P. Shiel, Jack London, Thomas Mann, Albert Camus, Raoul Maria De Angelis, Curzio Malaparte, Gesualdo Bufalino, Richard Matheson, Per Wahlöö, Jorge Amado, Guido Morselli, Primo Levi, Gabriel GarcĂ­a MĂĄrquez, JosĂ© Saramago, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, Franz Kafka, FĂ«dor Dostoevskij. Sempre chiedendosi in quale maniera tali lavori abbiano ritratto il rapporto tra comunitĂ  e potere costituto in situazioni di diffusa emergenza pubblica. Tutto ciĂČ, anche per ricavare elementi di valutazione in piĂč sul modo in cui, da quasi due anni, stiamo affrontando una nuova, terribile pandemia: quella da COVID-19.
